25:53Now PlayingPeople who struggle with economic hardships should be more likely to get involved in the political process, but studies have shown that's not necessarily the case.
Not taking part in elections and voting for candidates and issues that support your personal as well as economic interests can lead to a vicious cycle ... When poor people don't vote, politicians don't represent their interests and when certain politicians are elected they make it harder for poor people to vote.
Economist Dr. Kristen Broady from Alabama A&M University spoke with Roland Martin about how not voting helps keep the poor impoverished and how it can literally snatch money out of your wallet if you are in the middle class.
